Saying 'thank-you' to supermarket workers

Chris Marshall Reporter from Taupō Times

Those in Taupō wanting to reward hard-working supermarket staff going the extra mile amidst the many challenges of Covid-19 can take part in an initiative launched over Easter by First Light.
The producers of New Zealand grass-fed Wagyu beef and premium farm-raised venison have launched a “Feed the Frontline” social media campaign, asking for nominations for supermarket workers who are “still smiling, demonstrating patience or making sacrifices” in order to help Kiwis get food on the table during the Alert Level 4 lockdown.
Thirty nominees will receive gift packs of First Light premium meat to share with their bubbles.
First Light chief executive Jason Ross says he felt it important to recognise the role supermarkets and food stores play in the response to Covid-19.
“We know how hard everyone at retail level is working right now. We see it, we understand how challenging it is, and we appreciate that if it wasn’t for supermarkets, companies like ours would be struggling to make it through.”
The initiative, for which nominations close on Sunday April 19, has already seen over 100 names put forward, and Ross says the comments from Kiwi shoppers have been touching.
To nominate a local supermarket staff member go to First Light’s Facebook or Instagram page, and leave a comment.

New Year, Same Brain Teasers!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.

When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.

Yet, the police knew it was a murder.

How?
